We now have sev -eral l4tters on hand and would be glad to have others which will be of interest to the public.) From Homer Thompson Below is a letter received from Ho mer A. Thompson by his mother, Mrs. J. I. O. Thompson, of Pickens. Homer is a member of the 118th Infantry, 30th Division, the organization to which many of the Pickens county boys be long. This division left Camp Sevier about May 3d and all members got safe ly across. The letter was postmarked "Orderly Room, No. 3, Rest Camp, Folkstone, England," and was written on English stationery: My Dear Mother:-I am safe and sound once again and enjoying myself. The people over here cannot do too much for you. They are just as nice to us as can be. Would like very much to tell you all about my trip. and where I am, and describe route over which we came, but it is impossible now. B.ut will have a long tale to tell you all when I get back to the dear old States, which I hope wont be so very long. "What is "Hun" doing these days? Guess Toomer is still working for A. C. Sure have passed through some beau tiful country. It is pretty hard to write and not tell anything, for you haven't got much to say. Hope all of you are fine and dandy. Let me hear from you real often. Give Mrs. Eunice my best regards. Love to all. Homer. -BUY W. S. STAMPS.-. Nitrate for Pickens County There has been allotted 79 tons of ni P trate for Pickens county and we have given shipping instructions on same. The shipping agent at Charleston has promised to get it out at once and there has already been 44 tons shipped from Charleston last Monday. The shipping instructions are as fol lows: 30 tons to Easley, 14 tons to Pick ens, 10 tons to Liberty; 5 tons to Norris and.20 tons to Central. We are not going to get the full amount we are asking for in time to put on early plantei corn, but I believe we will get all we are asking for later in the summer. There is now deposited in banks of the county about $22,000 and only 79 tons of soda in sight so you can very readily see parties hav ing money up will only get about one third of what they are wanting. In case the soda will not reach you in time to use it, it will be perfectly all right to take down the money on depos it for soda. By doing this it will not inconvenience any one. We expect the soda coming to Easley and Pickens to reach here the last of the week or the first of next, and soda to follow in a few days. ;illI be notified his ap)por .hen and where it will be T1.
